an attraction worthy Of any show.
The leaping Of the company, espe-

he turns a double summerssult over
eight large horses standing shoulder to

The slBck-wire act by Miss Whitby. In

The double horIz 1ntal bar, performed

A HORSE THIEF CAPTURED
BY Four Active Young Boys Near
AtWater.
The Thief Who Stole Three Horses From
the BuunslI Farm. Near MAsslllOn.
Il Landed In JAil---rhO
Pursuit..

The horse thief who stole three horses
and two horse wagon from the farm
Of o. c. Bunnell, on the RiehVille road,
two miles east OF MassillOn, on Monday
night, was captured between Randolph
and Atwster at three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.
When the theft was dis
covered, kilograms describing the
horses and the wagon, were
sent In all directions. When Officer
Bedsrmsn, Of the Canton force, heard
the de cripti0n b. recollected Of an outfit
he saw, at 8 o'clock, Tuesday m fnlng,
going out South Market street, which
exactly answered In every particular,
Word was sent to HartVllle and other
small PAGES, avsilable by wire, and 1t
was soon learned that o man had been
seen to pass through HartvillP, driving
two horses hitohed to wagon, with ODE
horse tied to the rear. The whole pODu
latiOn was soon all excitement, and nu
merOus parties, armed with sh0t.guns,
corn cutters, clubs, and such lnstru
ments Of combat as could be gath
cred up, started In hot pursuit.
psrtv composed of D. W. Byrer,
W. ii. Kelser, q. Maohamer and c. r,
Geidlinger, four active young fellows
from HsrtVille, got q long start Of all
others and hastily followed the trail.
They kept on to point about
middle way between Randolph
and Atwater, when they overlook
the thief. As they rapidly approached
him he leaped from the wagon and
jumped over the fence. The boys were
close on to him, however, and succeeded
In haltlng him. The brought their game
trlumphantly back to HartVille, much to
the chsgrin Of the older scouts, The
boys turned their man ever to A. BrUm
bsugh, constable at HartVllle, and with
him brought the prisoner to this city
and turned him over to Sheriff
Leininger. They brought him down on
handcar on the Conn0tton, arriving
here about $50 o'clock. The boys were
the heroes Of the hour, and they looked
and talked as though they had captured
royal Bengal tiger with claws fo0t
long.
The thief said bnt little. When cap
tured he said his name was James Carr.
When asked where he wes from he re-
piled that that was his business. he
said one Of the horses belonged at War
rem, Ohio, and another was a canadian
horse" he probably intended 1t be q
Canadian soon. He gives no account of
himself and is undoubtedly prOfes.
sional horse thief.
The standing reward Of $500 for the
capture Of all horse thieves who have
stolen horses In this county has doubt
less been won by the HartVille boys.
Mr.. Bunnell was reached by telephone
to police headquarters In Cleveland,
where he had gone In search of his
horses. he will probably return to
Hartville to-day "wednesday and drive
his horses home.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Do not make the mistake of choos
ing nothing but the largest fowls for
sitters. Medium sized hens are, as a
rule, better for this purpose, If they
are not deficient in feathers.
There is less danger of hens leaving
their eggs if thy are always set in the
evening. They are much more apt to
s'stick." Be very careful about dis
turbing them for the first two or three
days.
Many poultry raisers fall into the
too common error Of using for breed.
ing stock ordinary or even poor fowls
No one can ever hope to produce any
thing but very ordinary or inferior
stock from such method. Use only
the best for breeding. The result will
be none too good then.
A man having ears, nose fingers and
toes all frozen would not be expected
by an ordinary community to continue
his usefulness for some considera 81,
time. Those who are now suffering
from lack of thoughtfulness in no
providing comfortable winter shelte
for their fowls, must not expect those
that are badly frost bitten to continue
the laying process as if nothing hat
happened.
The best month in the year 70
bringing out chickens in the Northern
States is April, and next, in point O
desirability, come March and May
Very little should be done in that lin
in June, and nothing whatever durin,
July. During the last week in Au
gust, and from then on to the 10th @
September, few chickens-pullets 70
laying the next season during the tim
when the other fowls are moulting-
may be raised with profit.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

To prevent the smok inc OF lamps, soak
the wick In strong vinegar and dry thor
oughly before it IL used.
A little petroleum added to the water
with which waved or polished floors are
washed improves their looks.
If roses are wilted before they can be
placed in water, INN srse the ends OF
the stalks In very hos water for q min
ute o, two, and they will regain their
pristine freshness.
Lace may be washed by winding IL
around bottles or sewing 1t on musli q
and boiling IL 10 soft water with white
CASTLE soap. It should be rinsed in
soft water after removing 1t from the
Buds.
To remove mi,dew, soap the linen,
previously wetted, and apply salt and
lemon juice on both sides; or apply
finely powdered pipe clay or fuller .
earth, or finely powdered chalk. Ex
pose 1t for several hours to the atmos
phi sre.
To make q polish OF m ahosany color,
take two ounces OF besswax cat fine,
spirits of turpentine, one ounce; one
dram powdered rosin. Melt at . gentle
heat, and add two drains Of Indian red
70 give 1t mahogany color.
Rubber rings. such az ara used on
fruit cans, often become hard aud
brittle. They can be restored by letting
them lie in water In which you have
put little ammonia. Mix In this pro.
portion: Oae part ammonia and two
parts water. Sometimes they do not
need to lie 10 this more than five min
utes, but frequently a half hour lie
needed to restore their elasticity.
"a comfortable cup OF tea" never
comes amiss to tagged housewife, be
1t served at breakfast, luncheon or din
ner. The best way to insure its good
ness-that is, that IL be hot, strong and
FIRE sh-is TO have your own tea urn or
kettle on the table, with q spirit lamp
burning under 1t. Scald the teapot, put
10 the tea, cover with boiling water;
put a "cosey" or thick napkin about
It, and let it stand Eve minutes before
filing with moro boiling water. Wait
minute longer and pour out.
A French doctor recommends the
following method Of preserving eggs in
their entire state, which he says has
been found to answer well, affirmip z
that he has eaten eggs which had been
kept two years: Make an ointment q
l one part beeswax diesolved In two
parts of heated olive oil. The oil is ab.
sorbed by tho shell, aud each of it's
pores becomes Oiled with the wax, go ~
to entirely exclude the air. IL Is said
that eggs have been kept perfectly
sound tor six months by merely cover
ling them we'll with olive oil by means
of the finger. Eggs packed in lay ers
with salt, and kept covered In q cool
place, keep we'll.

To Purify n Room.

To purify a room set pitc her of
water in the apartment, and in a few
hours it will have absorbed oil the re.
spired gases in the room, the air of
which will have become purer, but
the water utterly filthy. The colder
the water is the greater the capacity to
contain these gases. At the ordinary
temperature pail of water will alb
sorb pint of carbonic acid gas and
several pints of ammonia. The ca :
pacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the water Ito the temperature of ice.
Hence water kept in the room awhile
is unfit for use.
